Road to Wrestlemania: Game over - WWF wins - BANG BANG!

[Internet Stranger]

I want to see more from the lurkers. Without them, I will have nothing else to change my opinion of Nero Cain.

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Been in Cincinnati the last two days; will have a series of catchup posts over the several hours.

[Gobots]

I have had a busy weekend myself.

A brief read since the rumble has given me a couple talking points:

I don't really dig the idea that voting someone because they are an "easy target" is a strong scumtell. I think people are usually easy targets when they make themselves that way through scummy or anti-town behavior.

Primates love-post about IS leaves me scratching my head. Ok, I don't know the meta but...really? Has he played so well here that he's above suspicion? That doesn't even make sense.

Chesskid, well, there's always a chesskid, isn't there? On some level, I wish I could play the game that way. Personally, I'm all for getting rid of them first, but I know that's not always the best thing to do.

So let's go with:

dropkick: Primate

for slurping all over IS so hard.

[Furcolow]

Been in Cincinnati the last two days; will have a series of catchup posts over the several hours.

I live close to there, actually.

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

For a myriad of reasons catch-up posts are being pushed back to early tomorrow (Monday).

[Erratus Apathos]

@Nero's 630: I voted you because you said scum were sitting back, but you weren't voting. Which made me think you were sitting back.

@IS's 631: You ask Nero what he has done besides tunnel on you. Here's a question for you chief, what have you done besides tunnel on him?

@Primate's 653: I never said that, quit putting the words in my mouth.

[Furcolow]

Furcolow appears to have lost it with everyone and walks through the corridors ranting and raving, when out of nowhere AurorusVox appears to clothesline him to the floor...

I completely disagree with this.
BS is way worse of a VI than myself or chess in terms of intelligence. I am a very intelligent person. The last semester of college I was in, for instance, I had a 4.0. CK3 goes to princeton, or so he claims.

Just because I make mistakes doesn't make me a VI, as I am very intelligent. Scummy as an individual? Sure, but being scummy and playing differently than people want me to is more of a result of me believing that the general trends of mafia are the incorrect way to play town.

If anything, eventually, people will be praising me. Perhaps you should jump on board now as opposed to later, else you could be facing a moment in time where you will have to begrudgingly backtrack on me as a person.

...and as Furcolow staggers to his feet, Baby Spice runs in and takes him back down with a swinging neckbreaker...

Well, actually, perhaps BS has given up on her VI-ish ways. This is actually a pretty good post. However, I disagree with the last paragraph, because I have recently found that policy lynching is very bad not only for the town, but for mafia play in general.

Players like you need to be given a chance to improve, and I'm actually seeing it in your posting and playstyle.

unvote

I won't be seeking out any more policy lynches, I will be catching scum...

...and while Furc is lying on the floor, SnakePlissken takes a running jump off a nearby chair and plants a flying elbow drop into his sternum!

[SnakePlissken]

Errr Fur are you allowed to post like that in this game? No.

Chair Shot Furcolow

Sorry I've had major Internet failure this weekend which is why I have not been on. Bad news for me on Oscars weekend too when I run a movie website!!!

[Furcolow]

ack, i forgot about that!
sorry

[Scott Brosius]

Why is that vote-worthy though? Seems like an innocent mistake.

Spear: SnakePlissken

[Furcolow]

@Thor, you were referring to hoppster?
I don't recall seeing his push on CK, but that would solidify my vote, as I am familiar with CK's meta. When he says that he is whimsical as town, he isn't joking. I don't believe I've seen him as scum, so it's possible he is as much of a troll when he is red, but he is definitely that way as town.

How does Hoppster "not look scummy", if this is regarding him? It looks like you're softly defending him here, and if you don't clarify this, I will be seeking your head in a noose if he flips scum. I felt like Hoppster was way too defensive.

DDT: Hoppster

[Furcolow]

Poor Furcolow has still not recovered as he crawls down the corridor, allowing Scott Brosius to sneak in and apply the ankle lock!

[Furcolow]

As Scott twists and wrenches Furc's ankle, Erratus runs round to his head and puts him in the Crippler Crossface!

[Locke Lamora]

Your posts have been dealt with accordingly, Furc

If it's an honest mistake then deleting the quote/double post/extra words is enough punishment as far as I'm concerned. If I see people starting to deliberately abuse the rules in order to gain an advantage, then further action may have to be taken.

[Nero Cain]

The hell are you talking about Furc? All I've said to IS is like one post. That's hardly tunneling.

[Furcolow]

I read it as tunneling.

[Locke Lamora]

Move Count 1.6!

Hoppster - 3 (VasudeVa, Kublai Khan, Furcolow)
Nero Cain - 2 (Internet Stranger, jasonT1989)
Baby Spice - 2 (Debonair Danny DiPietro, AurorusVox)
chesskid3 - 2 (Baby Spice, Hoppster)
Gobots - 2 (Vezokpiraka, Kise)
Internet Stranger - 2 (Nero Cain, Errathus Apathos)
AurorusVox - 2 (Thor665, VP Baltar)
jasonT1989 - 1 (Sottyrulez)

VasudeVa - 1 (GMan)
Primate - 1 (Gobots)
Furcolow - 1 (SnakePlissken)

Not voting - 5 (Lowell, Trendall, jediknight, bristep123, Bella)

With 27 superstars active it takes 14 to eliminate a superstar.

JR: Down goes Furcolow after that savage chair shot from Snake!

King: I think those two dislike each other so much that we could all leave and they'd still be fighting!

JR: Hoppster pulls up Furcolow...but Furcolow surprises him with a kick to the gut and a DDT! Hoppster not looking in great shape right now.

I've realised that I haven't officially declared deadline, which will be Friday 11th March at 10:00AM GMT. A countdown to that time is here.

[Furcolow]

WHOO YEAH, YOU LIKE THAT DDT BOY?

[VP Baltar]

Mod, I should be voting for AurorusVox

As should everyone else at this point.

[VP Baltar]

VP Baltar is halfway through making a slur on The Locke's name when he is promptly snap suplexed onto the hard arena floor!

[Locke Lamora]

Actually, VP, you were right. I had you down voting twice and must have edited it just after you saw it. But yes, you got beaten anyway

[Kublai Khan]

First, a big LOL at Furcolow for stating how intelligent he is, then running afoul of just about every special rule in the game. It's the literary equivalent of walking into a glass door. Repeatedly.

Second, and if I could be serious for a moment, I would like more people to vote and/or comment on Hoppster.

[vezokpiraka]

I think hoppster is scummy but I am pretty sure gobots is scum and I support that wagon for now.

If there will be a wagon forming on hoppster I may vote him.

[Locke Lamora]

Sottyrulez and Lowell have been prodded. Trendall and jediknight have still not picked up their prods; if they do not do so by tonight then I'll start looking for replacements.

[VP Baltar]

I don't really have much of a read on hoppster at the moment KK. I haven't been paying very close attention to your arguments with him because I have been looking more at the AV, Nero, Jason, Sottyrulez grouping of people. I will try to review your case at some point today and give some actual comments.
